Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

NWG receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

NWG has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and moderate ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+21.4%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 19.6%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+3.2%), very low insider ownership of 0.00%.

Financial Health Rating

NWG's financial health is supported by strong cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation of $5.8B (19.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is NWG's strongest growth driver at +734.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+21.4%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+3.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 5.0% and approximately 99.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.00%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

JONES FINANCIAL COMPANIES LLLP 0.31%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

NWG generates approximately $563 of gross profit, $261 of operating income, and $196 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins, cash conversion, and capital efficiency support the rating.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 24.31%

Quantitative Style Profile

NWG has a high-quality, large-cap, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
